Didn't see this posted and just heard an interview about the story and it is quite interesting......supposedly there are many other names linked but they have not been named. Might never now the whole truth since the lead witness is dead.

*Edit...I meant to put a ? mark at the end of the thread title.*

Michael Vick has told federal investigators that he never used performance-enhancing drugs, but Plano, Texas, steroids trafficker David Jacobs told the Dallas Morning News before his death that he was Vick's supplier when the quarterback played for the Atlanta Falcons.

The News did not publish Jacobs' allegations against the NFL quarterback now with the Eagles because authorities at the time declined to confirm Vick was part of the Jacobs investigation.

But a newly released document shows that federal agents and prosecutors questioned Vick about steroids and human growth hormone while investigating his dogfighting ring in the fall of 2007. He denied using the drugs

i hope he gets fried for something! Electrocuted is better!

Leave me out of this scandal please. :D

Anyway......if he is still playing after all the other sh!t he has done, and has obviously gotten away with by NFL standards.........I don't think they are gonna give a damn about this either.

Just wonder who will have to take the fall, to save his ass again.

is it just me or does steroid use in football not seem to be as big of a deal as steroid use in baseball?

Well when the day comes that it is proven that half the league is on something than put me in the front of the line of people not surprised. Especially with no testing done for HGH (the most popular steroid). But drug testing in all sports is a joke (unless there are any that allow blood tests).

There have been plenty of whispers, and stories about this kind of stuff in the NFL and that is how it was in baseball until they were forced to do something about it and Congress stepped in.

Kind of like the concussion thing. It was going ignored by the NFL until Congress was about to step in and that changed everything and it is now one of their most important issues. (HBO's Real Sports did a great piece on it)

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
